I don't know vb either. However the trace file is likely generated on the server-side. She would not see the output. She might want to try alter session set autotrace on; instead. That way she should see the results. That is how it works in SQL*PLUS. Otherwise, you will have to send her the trace file from the server - you guys will get quickly tired of that. 'AUTOTRACE ON' does have some limitations/bugs where it doesn't necessarily show you - but I believe that is related to partitioning and parallelism.

Subject: set sql*trace VB/Crystal
List:
We have a crystal report performing badly. (No! ,you say. You're shocked!)
The report has a visual basic front end.
Our developer wants to set sql trace in the VB code. It's not working.
When I tkprof her trace file, all that's in there is the "ALTER SESSION SET
SQL_TRACE TRUE" command.
Is there some trick here? I don't know VB at all, so I don't know how to
advise her. She looked on the Microsoft site, but it was not helpful.
Thanks for any help!
Barb
